This year’s World PT Day THEME is OSTEOARTHRITIS. Osteoarthritis being a common degenerative joint condition in the human population and is associated with excruciating pain, joint stiffness, reduced movement ability leading to reduced participation in activities of daily living (ADLs), performance at work and an overall reduced quality of life.

The World Physiotherapy Day is held every year on 8th September and was founded in 1951. It is a day when physiotherapists can promote the profession to create awareness of the roles of Physiotherapy in the prevention, control and management of various health conditions that pose a huge burden on the health and quality of life of individuals.

Physiotherapists assess, plan and implement rehabilitative programs that improve or restore human motor functions, maximize movement ability, relieve pain syndromes, and treat or prevent physical challenges associated with injuries, diseases and other impairments. They apply a broad range of physical interventions and modalities.
